One Tree Hill (Season 4)

Lucas: [voiceover] My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High School. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world. Maybe it's nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone like you. Or someone like my best friend, Haley. If you're married, a senior in high school, and not sure if your husband is still alive, then I'd say your world is a lot like Haley's. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life. But it's amazing how things can change in the blink of an eye. Or, in this case, in 29 minutes.

Lucas: Keith would be so happy. I mean I can't believe you're having his baby.

Karen: I'm not talking about that pregnancy. Whose test did you find at the reception? Was it Brooke's?

Lucas: I'm not sure yet.

Karen: I'm your mother Lucas, and considering that I was pregnant at 17. I just want to know if history is repeating itself with my son and his girlfriend.

Rachel: Do you think people can change, Brooke? I mean, truly change.

Brooke: Well, I'd like to say yes. But, honestly I don't really think people can change. You know at the end of the day you are who you are, and it's probably who you've always been.

Rachel: But, what if who you've been is pretty horrible?

Brooke: I brought you back your house keys. It's a very nice house -- big rooms, no parents. I used to have one of those.

Lucas: [voiceover] My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High School. I play basketball -- at least I used to. I have a girlfriend -- at least I used to. And I have a best friend. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world, maybe it's nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their place. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you.

Lucas: [voiceover] There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads...afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it´s only when you´re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you´re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead.

Lucas: [voiceover] You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background?. It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it.

Lucas: [voiceover] There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path? Will others tell you who you are or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.

Rachel: Your parents have money, your baby's going to be beautiful, and maybe your dead uncle saved your life because you're destined for greatness... If Haley wasn't pregnant, did I have a shot?

Nathan: Not for a second.

Nathan: As many of you know, I called this press conference today to announce where I'm planning to play basketball in college. I got a lot of great offers but its always been my dream to play in Duke University, so ah... that's where I plan to go but... You know, my father said that today will be the greatest day of my life, and you're right dad, it is. But it's not because of basketball. You see, today I learned that my wife Haley is pregnant. It's an absolute honor to be recruited by Duke University. I guess what I have to say to you today is this: where I play basketball, if I play basketball, is no longer a decision for me to make alone. It's a decision that I make with my wife and my family's best interests at heart, and when I do I'll let you all know. My wife couldn't be here today so, I just wanted to say one thing to her: Haley, no matters what happens, we face it together. I promise you, I've never been happier. Everything is gonna be okay. I love you. Thank you.

Nathan: You know, I thought it was a miracle that I survived that accident. And I guess I never really felt worthy of it. Now I know that miracle wasn't for me. It was for us. All three of us!

Peyton: Can you believe this? Derek. Is it any wonder that I have commitment issues?

Peyton: [While changing] You know, I just can't believe what a creep he turned out to be. And I just let him waltz into my house. Like "Hey, I'm a crazy psycho, can I come in?", and I'm all like "Yeah, sure! Wanna see my bedroom?"

Lucas: Peyton.

Peyton: And he's still out there.

Lucas: They'll find him, OK? The detectives said they'll call when they do and then we'll finally have some answers. Until then, you're safe with me, I promise!

Peyton: You're always saving me.

[Lucas smiles]

Peyton: OK, you can turn around.

Lucas: [Turns around and sees Peyton in her cheerleader's uniform] Whoah! is this your way of saying thank you?

Peyton: Nice try! A few of the cheerleaders have to be at Nathan's press conference.

Lucas: Oh wow! I forgot about that. Wouldn't you be safer just to avoid the whole thing?

Lucas: [voiceover] When life comes at you out of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will they be wise? Will their love for you help them to lead you to the light, or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices, or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness. And when it does, is there someone you can depend on when it does?

Whitey: [to Lucas] You know, it took every ounce of strength your mother has to come in here and ask me to take you back. She loves you that much, enough to put your dreams ahead of her fears. You've got fifteen minutes a game to make her proud... and a lifetime to make them both proud.

Nathan: You shouldn't be straining yourself. You can't risk falling and stuff.

Haley: Relax, I'm pregnant, not elderly.

Hayley: You've been so supportive of me and my dream for music, so I just wanna be supportive of you and your dream for playing at Duke. So I wanna do this for us, okay?

Nathan: How did I get so lucky?

Haley: It helps that you're hot.

Nathan: Well thank you, you're gonna be so happy there.

Nathan: I wanna say thanks. I know how hard it was for you to throw those points away. Look, I'll make it up to you and the team at State okay? Point shaving was just a one time thing... it's over now.

Lucas : Nathan... you know I'll always be there for you. But, never again.

Lucas: [voiceover] Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small , like when we do a bad thing, for a good reason. Some are bigger, like when we let down a friend. Some of us escape the pains of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret, because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. And sometimes we bury our regret, by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did... but the things we didn't do. The things we didn't say that could save someone we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.

Lucas: Uh...I mumbled something about us being friends and then I left.

Skills: And you believe that? That you and P. Sawyer are just friends!?

Lucas: Look, you know what Skills? For a long time I thought that maybe we'd be something more. It just never seemed to work out, you know? So, at a certain point you just gotta face the fact that it's not meant to be.

Skills: Even if she wants more?

Lucas: She's just a little confused. She's had a hard year and I happened to be her rescuer a few times.

Skills: So maybe you the one who's confused! Cause you didn't just happen to rescue her a few times. You didn't just happen to run into the school that day or save her from Pscyho-Derek. Peyton happened to be there, but you chose to be there. So, maybe you gotta think about that.

Brooke: I can't believe Whitey wouldn't let us ride the bus. And thanks to Haley having to pee every other mile, we're gonna be late. This sucks.

Haley: It's a boy Nathan. You're gonna have a son! Although I have to tell you, someday he's gonna tease his father for playing like crap at the state championship. You might wanna change that.

Whitey : You have made a hell of a comeback. You played as team. Even if we lose this thing, it's still a damn fine moral victory. Now, maybe that's okay with you. Maybe you want to look back and tell your grandkids about the state championship you almost won.

Lucas: When all my dreams come true, the one I want next to me. It's you. It's you Peyton.

Mouth:(Mouths touching speach to the audience)You know, say what you will about the ravages of sports in this corporate age where overpaid athletes expect prima donna treatment, but there's still something som unifying about sporting in it's purest form, when athletes rise above themselves and touch greatness, and in doing so remind us all that we all have greatness inside of us.

Dante: 'to Dan' I didn't pick Nathan because he was the star of the team. I picked him because he's Dan Scott's son. But it turns out the kid actually has a soul. I never would have bet on that.

Lucas: Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world...or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives. For better...or worse.

Nathan: (After Haley's accident, she's unconscious and he's in the church talking to God.) I know I did a horrible thing, OK. But I deserve to e punished for that, not Haley! She's a good person and she'd be a great mother if... Look I know it must suck how people are always asking for things and never giving anything back and I know that Keith saved me at that bridge, but Haley saved me long before the accident. There has to be a miracle left for her, please, please, don't take her from me, don't take our child from her.

Keith (whispering to Nathan): It's ok Nathan.

Nathan: Why'd you have save me Keith?! Huh? If I would have died, then there's no Dante, and there's no accident, and Haley and the baby are fine. C'mon Keith, you can save me but you can't answer me? Thanks for nothing.

Lucas: You mean when you didn’t kiss me on the quad or when you said dreams are e-mails from ghosts.

Peyton: Both.

Lucas: What's wrong Peyton?

Peyton: I wanna kiss you Luke. I do. I just dont want to lose you.

Lucas: Hey, what makes you think you think you're gonna lose me?

Peyton: Only the fact that I lose everyone I care about. Anytime I open up to someone they walk out of my life or they die or they move away or they get shipped off to Iraq or they turn into freakin' Norman Bates or

(Lucas cuts her off by kissing her)

Lucas:: Not everyone!

Peyton:: Luke, the last time we kissed you had a heart attack.

Lucas:: And I didn't die. I couldn't die. Do you know why? Because I had to come back and look into those green eyes of yours and tell you I love you. I do! I love you Peyton. You didn't push me away. I came back for you. And no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you.

Haley: Why is it that it’s so much easier to forgive a stranger than someone you love?

Brooke: I'm not book smart, I'm Brooke smart and there is a big difference.

Lucas: Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real when you woke up you didn't know what to believe? What would you do if what you thought was true wasn't, and what you thought wasn't true was. Would you retreat into your dreams with the hope of finding a more perfect reality? Sometimes life is stranger than a dream, and the only way to wake up is to face what lies are hidden in your soul. And you can only hope that in those moments of dark reflection, that you are not alone.

Lucas: Hey I've been waiting for you

Peyton: I think we've waited long enough

(They kiss)

Deb: I don't belong here, I'm a good person. So I pop pills, I haven't killed anybody. Sure maybe I started a fire once, and I did discharge a firearm recently, but it was an accident. The bottom line is... I don't need this place.

Nathan: You see this? The summer I decided to really dedicate myself to basketball, my dad said I was way too skinny to ever be a great player. He said I wasn't tough enough, that I wasn't strong enough. So to prove him wrong, I spent every single day in this training room. It was like a thousand degrees in it, but I wasn't gonna let him be right.

Peyton: Anger's motivation.

Nathan: Anger and inspiration. Every time I benched another ten pounds, I scratched two letters, under the plate.

Peyton: What does it say? PS?

Nathan: It was the same summer we started dating. We were pretty good together weren't we?

Peyton: Gimme your hand. Ok, I want you to feel this.

Nathan: Geeze what happened?

Peyton: I broke that knuckle punching something after we've broken up for like the twentieth time! We were horrible together!

Nathan: Yeah, I know, I was kinda hoping you forgot.

Peyton: No.

Glenda: So I've been thinking about your manuscript. You need to give it to someone who won't go easy with you, someone who's gonna tell you the truth...

Glenda: I haven't actually been that truthful, I mean not about school. The truth is I'm gonna miss this place. And it's all my fault. I just wish I would have tried harder, and I just didn't wanna look like an idiot.

Lucas: I think everybody feels that way sometimes. You know like people don't see them for who they really are. It's not just you.

Glenda: You would have made a great goth you know? A little tortured, a bit of a loner, but kind.

Glenda: But we walked out of the doctor's, and my mom handed me the prescription, and she turns and say "Well, I don't know who would sleep with you, but here you go."

Nathan(Sees Lucas holding a picture of Keith): Luke, you gotta help me find some booze, man, or it's going to get ugly down there. You gotta let this go man. Keith's gone, Luke. Jimmy's gone. Nothing's going to bring them back. But you got a ton of people that love you out there and in a few months, most of those people are gonna go their separate ways. So what do you say big brother? Let's have some fun.

Nathan: Haley! I heard you were fighting Rachel. You punched her?

Haley: It was more of a bitch slap...

Rachel: (While Rachel is dancing to her boys that are cheering for her, she kept on dancing after she stops) (To the boys) Thank you! Thank You! Tip your waitressess, or me. (dances excitedly off the table until Haley steps in with a drink in her hand)

Haley: Don't play dumb ass with me girlie you stole those test, and I wanna know how you did it. Steal my keys while I was in the hospital. Yeah I bet you did, didn't you. You know I could have spent my time tutoring someone that actually needed it and now I'm not gonna have that opportunity again thanks to you.

Rachel: Whatever ...

Haley: So... (Throws a drink in Rachel's face) That is for getting me fired!

(Haley back hands Rachel in the face)

Haley: And that (Haley grabs Rachel's chin) is for trying to sleep with my husband.

Rachel: Bitch, you're lucky you're pregnant!

Haley: Honey, you're lucky that I'm pregnant!! I think its time you get your insecure, cheating, skank ass out of this house RIGHT NOW!

(Rachel tries to push Haley; Skills stops her)

Skills: Yo ma I think it's time for you to leave. (Rachel Leaves as Haley watches and Skills got closer to Haley) I told you I got the kid's back. (Hugs Haley, who watches Rachel, who angrily disappeared out of sight in Nathan's very own home)

Lucas: (Voice-over) If you could go back and just change one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you change just one thing? Just one moment. One moment that you've always wanted back.

Brooke: (After everyone watches the tape on Nathan and Brooke, Peyton walks up to Brooke while Haley steps aside and Peyton stares at Brooke with a mean look and knew that Brooke has screwed Nathan behind her back.) Peyton I.. (Peyton punches Brooke in the face.)

Brooke: The thing with Nathan and I happened a long time ago, Peyton and you guys were broken up.

Peyton: Well in case you don't remember Nathan and I broke up all the time.

Brooke: Oh, really, how could I forget, thats all your relationship ever was Peyton, just a string of miserable one night stands thrown together.

Peyton: Now you're describing your life with every guy in Tree Hill!

Brooke: It was one time, and it meant, NOTHING!

Peyton: Well it means something to Chase. And it meant something to me!

Brooke: You know what meant something to me? You and Lucas having an ongoing affair behind my back, because P.S, we weren't broken up either time that you went after him.

Peyton: Okay. My fault. See I was stupid, cos I thought I ruined our friendship, when you ruined a long time ago. We were NEVER friends. (Slams the door)

Lucas: (Lucas heard a knock on the door and Lucas opens the door and in comes Nathan, who comes in the house to talk to Lucas about his apology tour) Hi.

Nathan: Hey, I just thought and stopped by during my Nathan Scott apology tour.

Peyton: (While in her room, an egg is seen breaking through the window and Peyton investigates and finds the egg yolk and Peyton angrily rushes to the front door. The person that Peyton saw throwing the egg in the house is none other than Brooke, who throws another egg on the window when Peyton rushes outside to find a furious Brooke throwing the next egg) Seriously, you're egging my house?!

Brooke: Well, are you going to give my dress back to me, the guy told me at the store says he has it, it described it down to your bony ass.

Peyton So go naked, think of all the times you're gonna say hooking up with someone else's boyfriend.

Brooke' You wanted to talk, you are wanted to talk Peyton, (shows a glass of her to Peyton) ok you said we were never friends, huh? Never meant anything to you?! (throws glass on the door step and breaks) Fine! You wanna see something else?!, (Reveals a picture of Lucas and Peyton during Brooke's birthday) here's a picture of you and Lucas on my Birthday, so who's unaford now?! (throws picture on the door step)

Peyton (so mad that she charges in on Brooke and puts Brooke up and slams her to the ground with a spine buster and started a fight which Brooke grunts as they continued fighting).

Brooke: God, stop it just let go, I'm the one with no boyfriend, no prom dress, and a black eye, you're going to prom with the guy you love so you win. (Peyton hears what Brooke said and stops fighting with her) Okay Peyton, you win. (Peyton, with a mean look, lets go of Brooke as Brooke shaking her legs away from Peyton, who turns to the front door to go inside the house and Brooke gets up) Why do you even care anymore?

Peyton: (Peyton stops and turns around breathing sadly) Why do I care? Brooke this has been one of the worst years of my life, and I needed my best friend now more then ever and you... cut me out because I was honest with you and you were never ever honest with me!

Brooke Peyton-

Peyton: You made fun of my mom's death Brooke. You knew her, you cried with me when she died and now you use her as a punchline for.. a joke to hurt me. (Brooke watches sadly and heard what Peyton said) Oh! It hurt, it did, (breathing sadly) but not anymore cause you and me, we're done. You're right, she's dead and as far as I'm concerned so are you! (Peyton turns around and walks sadly into her front door to go inside the house leaving Brooke shocked at what Peyton told her and also Brooke turns her head the other way as the cutscene changes away)

Lucas: Can we just put this whole thing behind us, and have a good time at prom?

Peyton: I'm not going.

Lucas: Why? Did something else happen?

Peyton: No, I just don't care about prom.

Lucas: Peyton. We don't have to see Brooke. It'll be fun. I promise you that.

Peyton: It's not about Brooke I just really don't wanna go anymore. You can still go if you want.

Lucas: Look I think you're going to regret not going. I know that I'll regret not going with you.

Peyton: I just can't. I'm sorry.

Lucas: Oh I really hope you change your mind, because I'm coming back later and I'm picking you up. And if you open that door, I know that you're gonna look beautiful, and that we're gonna have a great night. And if not I guess I'm going alone.

(Peyton's boxing)

Nathan: Did you name him Nathan?

Peyton: Why? Did he screw my best friend?

Nathan: I'm sorry. Okay, I know I'm late, I should've been here two years ago.

Peyton: Well why weren't you?

Nathan: Because I was a jerk

Peyton: (Stops boxing) Why Brooke? Did you really hate me that much?

Nathan: No! I didn't hate you! I just didn't care about anybody but myself. Look, I hooked up with Brooke because she was drunk, and I was a bastard. It didn't mean anything. Just a mistake we both wanted to forget.

Peyton: Explains why you taped it.

Nathan: Did I mention I was a stupid jerk? Look, when you get to prom-

Peyton: I'm not going!

Nathan: Hey, I know you're mad at me and Brooke but; don't take this out on Lucas-

Peyton: I'm not! I just don't care. I'm you, 2 years ago.

Nathan: No, you're not. You never were. wh-why do you think...you stayed with me when I treated you so bad?

Peyton: I'm a masochist-

Nathan: Because you cared, that's who you are. You care about Lucas because he know he loves you and... you propably still care about me and Brooke because you know we love you too. Just face it, Peyton you care. So get dressed and go with Lucas. I'll see you there. (Doorbell Rings)

Fergie: (to Junk) Please, you could never get with Fergalicious.

Brooke: I have a lot of skeletons in my closet, and apparently half of them are naked.

Peyton: (Peyton is seen happily walking down the stairs and just in time to get an apology from Lucas and ready to go to prom with Lucas and she hears her doorbell which she thinks its Lucas. She stops to look at the mirror to keep her smile cool and turns to the door and opens the door.) Lucas-

Psycho Derek: (After Peyton opens the door, the figure is not Lucas and it was none other than Psycho Derek, who came back for revenge on Peyton and he turns around and Peyton is shocked to see her internet stalker returning for one final attack on her and Psycho Derek smiles on a scared Peyton) Hi Peyton. (Peyton panics and Psycho Derek punches Peyton in the face when the scene fades to a flash of white)

Brooke: We've been talking about senior prom since we are 8. I knew something was wrong.

Peyton: So you told someone you were coming?

Brooke: No, at least I came!

Peyton: You should have told someone!

Brooke: That is your problem, you are so ungrateful.

Peyton: You're an idiot!

Brooke: Don't call me an idiot, bitch!

Peyton: I hope he kills you first.

Psycho Derek: That's a good idea. I know how much you hate her, Peyton. I was outside today watching and I heard you tell Brooke that she was dead from you...(grabs Brooke by the neck and threatens to kill her by slitting her throat as Brooke panics) and now I'm going to make it...official.

Brooke: (Brooke panics in terror)

Peyton: (Peyton saw Derek touching Brooke) Derek, wait.

Psycho Derek: Don't you see Peyton? I've been searching for some way to show you how much I love you. I'm gonna hurt her as much as she hurt you.

Peyton: (While Brooke panics she whispered) Derek! Derek! hey! hey, look at me. If you really really loved me, let me do it. This is my chance for revenge you.. funny you should know that look you were right about me all right, okay? Hey! You were right! We are so much alike. I have all the same feelings that you do and all the same desires.

Psycho Derek: I don't believe you.

Peyton: Its true. (Psycho Derek continues to touch Brooke by killing her when was interupted again by Peyton) Hey! I just couldn't admitted before... I'll prove it to you now. Just untie me.

Psycho Derek: You're lying!

Peyton: (Peyton, with an evil smile while the screen turns sideways according to the beats of Nux Vomica by The Veils, looks gladly at Derek) Come on, Derek. (Psycho Derek continues to almost kill Brooke but; was interuptted one more time by Peyton) Pick up the knife and I'm half of your size. Hey, Baby.

Psycho Derek: (He heard what Peyton told him and he lets go of Brooke as Brooke gasping for air frightened by the touching and he unties Peyton) You better not be lying, Peyton!

Peyton: No baby, I promise.

Peyton: (to Brooke) All this time you said I was a backstabbing bitch. You had no idea how right you were! (She uses her evil smile on a terrified Brooke and changes her face and stabs Derek in the shoulder as Psycho Derek moans and she pushes him to a stack of boxes as Brooke gasped at what Peyton did.)

Peyton: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry. (Derek moans in pain and he tried to move)

Brooke: (Who saw Derek moaninly moving while trying to be untied by Peyton) Peyton! Peyton! He's moving! Just get out of here!

Peyton: No I'm not leaving you!

Psycho Derek: That was... so disapointing! (As Peyton tries to untie Brooke) You know what... I changed my mind! I think I'll kill you first! (Psycho Derek painfully takes the knife out of his shoulder as tears running down to his eyes)

Brooke: (While trying to wait for Peyton to set her best friend free, Brooke saw Derek grabbing the knife from out of his shoulder and turns her head to Peyton) Peyton run!

Peyton: (Leaves Brooke alone to try to untie herself as Peyton runs and throws her flower on Derek and runs upstairs as Psycho Derek watches her leaving)

Psycho Derek: (Derek painfully goes upstairs and knew the door to Peyton's room is locked and he knocked 2 times) Open the door Peyton! You already know that I'm gonna break it down! (Derek opens the door and knew that Peyton was missing and also forgot to lock it which this was still unlocked because Peyton is nowhere to be seen) You forgot to lock it.

Peyton: I didn't forget! (Tases him in the neck as he screams) Doesn't feel so good, does it?! (Derek collapses on the floor and he falls to the floor) I'm not gonna run from you anymore Derek! Not gonna run anymore period now get up! (Derek gets up and Peyton punches him in the face and he falls onto the floor.)

Psycho Derek: (Laughs) you've been trainning?

Peyton: Yeah, that's right! With my real brother... And he taught me this. (Punches Derek again) This is what you get for sleeping on you crazy two face son of a bitch! (Derek grabs Peyton and he hurts her head on the bed.)

Psycho Derek: You think.... (Peyton screams after her dress was ripped) You couldn't beat me. A girl?

Brooke: (Brooke comes in from out of nowhere with a brown stick and hits in on Derek) How about 2 girls?!

Rachel: Quit talking about Shelly.

Mouth: Yeah, I know. I'm boring you.

Rachel: No, you're making me jealous.

Rachel: You know I lied to you when I told you my flight was late. The truth is that I just wasn't ready to get on it.

Mouth: Why not?

Rachel: Because I wanted us to have our last dance.

Mouth: Let's have it.

Rachel: You're gonna break a lot of hearts Mouth McFadden.

Hayley: You know after everything we've been through in the past year your mom taking us to prom feels pretty good.

Chris Keller: Let's see here: (looks at Brooke) slept with you, (looks at Haley) kissed you, (looks at Peyton) got slapped by you. Just like any other night on Chris Keller's tour bus.

Chris Keller: Honey Grove! We're rolling right through there you guys should just totally Crash with me. Come on it'll be just like old times.. except without Nate tryin to kill me for singin' duets with Haley. Haley could sleep in my bed

Chris Keller: Though you're looking a little plump, Hales. (sighs) What the hell, I've had bigger chunk in my bunk.

Lucas: (Voiceover) Sometimes i wonder if anything's absolute anymore. Is There Still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable,left to interpretation, grey. Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we're faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes things simply catch up to us.

Abby: Your uncle Keith, he tried to help Jimmy. But he couldn't. Jimmy-

Lucas: Jimmy what? Jimmy what?

Lucas: Was my uncle still alive when Jimmy shot himself?

(Abby nods)

Lucas: Who shot him, Abby?

Abby: I thought once he realized someone knew the truth he would come forward, so I stalked him with messages and threats, I thought he would turn himself in. I thought I would be safe. But he found me.

Lucas: Who? Who killed my uncle Keith? Who killed my uncle?

Abby: Your father. It was your father, Dan Scott. He killed Keith.

(Lucas sits down the bed in shock)

Abby: He was there, and he picked up the gun. And you know I'm right, don't you? In your heart.

Lucas: You have to come forward. You gotta tell somebody Abby! Abby you have to tell somebody!

Abby: I did. I told you. I'm sorry.

Karen: Dan..?

Dan: I have done some horrible things, unforgivable things. Lucas didn't need a father, he had one. He had the person who helped him bridge the shame of my cowardness. Everything I've touched has diminished: Deb's life, Nathan's talent.Keith...

Karen Roe: Come here. You're not without redemption. I've seen it, I see it!

Dan Scott:: That's not true, it's not true. I just wanna...wanna go back, you know. I just wanna go back. I...I wanna take that little kid that I used to be and just grab him and shake him and say you stop, stop, JUST STOP! I wanna wake up from this nightmare, you know, I wanna breathe again. I wanna, I wanna breathe again, Karen. Can you help me breathe? Can you help me quiet these voices in my head that tell me that I've lost you? 'Cause I know I have... If only I would've stayed with you..(Then the song starts with the words: gonna make a man out of you)

Lucas: (Voiceover) Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie.

Whitey: Then find somebody who does. Nathan, where is the fire that made you the best player I ever coached?. Show me it's still there. If it's not, put down that ball and walk home. People love a guy who rises from the ashes. Remember that.

Nathan:(to principal Turner) Do you have a wife, Principal Turner? Isn't she the best part of you? Would you want her to pay for your mistakes? We all make mistakes. And, believe me, I'm paying for mine, but --- Haley is a good person. She's worked for four years to be valevictorian. She deserves to be recognized.

Haley: My best friend recently reminded me of a quote, by William Shakespeare,that seems appropriate. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound up in sorrows and in miseries. On such a full sea, are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves or lose our ventures." I think that what that quote means is that life is short and, opportunities are rare, and we have to be vigilant in protecting them. And, not only the opportunities to succeed but, the opportunity to laugh, to see the enchantment in the world, and...to live, because life doesn't owe us anything. As a matter of fact, I think we owe something to the world. And, if we can just believe...(Laughs nervously a few times) I'm sorry, I have more I just, think I'm having my baby. (Everyone looks startled. Nathan stands up as Haley smiles at him nervously.)

Bevin: (to her father) My boyfriend's black.

Mr.Taylor: That's ok, honey. My son's black too. We deal with it.

Lucas: I wish we never left that hotel room in Honey Grove, 'cause you're perfect, and we're perfect, and that night was perfect.

Brooke: You know when I was a freshman I wasn't a very good person. I mean sure I was popular and dated seniors....but as a person I was pretty lost. And over the last 4 years I've been forced to grow up. I stopped letting boys define me and I started believing in myself and in my potential. I ran for student council president and I designed a clothing line and somewhere along the way, the lost little party girl became the girl on the wall of honor. I know what I did was wrong, Mr.Turner, I know. But the girl I was when I came to this school, I'm not so sure she would've. And isn't that the point of high school? I mean isn't that what you've been trying to teach us for the last 4 years?

Deb: (Appearing round the door holding stuffed toys) Cue the crazy gradnmother. And FYI, if you ever call me 'grandmother' in public, I'll use my gun. (Sees Haley's face) Which, is safe at the range, out of the way of the most beautiful baby in the world (Takes Jamie from Haley) Next to you Nathan, of course. Aaah who am I kidding?

Nathan: We would go mom, but were underage, and theres gonna be drinking, probably some drugs-

Deb: Go. We insist. Bring me home some drugs! (Walks off with Jamie) Isn't Gwandma funny?

Hayley: UNBELIEVABLE. He's only mellow when we play rap music? What happened to the classical I played for nine months?

Nathan: I have a confession to make. Whenever you fell asleep I tuned into old school hip-hop. (Rocks Jamie) Thats right my boy. We like some old school hip hop? Yeah? Yeah? (Laughs)

Karen: I have a daughter. Her name is Lily. And someday when she's old enough, she's going to ask me where her daddy is. Who he was and how he died. And on that day, I'm going to look into her beautiful eyes, eyes that don't know of malice and jealousy, and evil, and I'm gonna say, your father loved his younger brother very much, and that brother took him from you for your entire life. (Dan starts to cry) Made sure you would never know your father.
